  Hi,
  
  Is there a way to reveal file in File Explorer from "Recent files" menu ?
  From the list showing all recent files if you click on a file it will open the corresponding app and open the file.
  I wish a possibility by clicking and pressing a key on a file to opens its containing folder where the file is located
  and also the file must show as selected and focus in the new windows.
  
  Cheers

  Are you referring to Jump Lists --> as in the wishlist-link below?

  You can do that using the Alternative menu feature "Open the Containing Folder in the Current Window". See:
  https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/what-ar...-features/
  
  In short (if you kept the default hotkeys), hit Shift+Middle Mouse Button (or Shift+Win+W), select "Open the Containing Folder in the Current Window" and, in the "Recent Files" menu select the file you wish to see in its containing folder.
  
  You could also do in one step with the Alternative menu hotkey Right-Shift. See:

  Unfortunately, no.

  Hi ! Thank you for your reply ! Yes JumpList, I use it a lot from the taskbar. I pin my favorites Apps there and with a right click not only does this allow you to find the file through a complex directory structure with a single click, but it also lets you access the folder in which I have all the other files stored aside that I need to access as well.
